The gloves are coming off

We have tried rewarding (bribing) with praise, chocolate milk and finally with money, but to no avail. Jackson is getting in our bed EVERY night, oye vey! It wouldn't be that bad if he did kick you like a jack rabbit all night. We are contemplating locking the door.

But before we do that I want to try some tough love. Last night I kicked him out of bed twice to sleep on the floor and took him back to his bed the third time at 4am. I know it will be a bit tough for a while but if we hold the line it should get better, right? :)

do you think he could have a sleep disorder? Is it normal for a four year old to wake up that many times during the night?? But if it is, stay firm and he will finally get the message that he will not be allowed in your bed. He knows that hasn't been true in the past, so he is going to test you until he sees you are serious this time. Good luck!

Why I stay at home with three year old Triplets....

#1 We always said we did not want to have a child (who knew we would have three) just to let someone else raise them. Here are some other reasons that I no longer work "outside the house."

I don't want someone else putting their morals and values on our kids.

They may not do as I ask but... Just try putting an employee in the corner for time out

I am now virtually guaranteed a nap most days.

The Triplets may cry, hit and bite but... You can't make most employees happy by turning on Sesame StreetI know this sounds SWEET but keep in mind....

There are NO days offYou get NO sick daysYou work weekends12+ hour daysYou cannot fire a child, you can an employee:)

My background

I worked in Corporate America for 14 years then everything changed with the birth of triplets in 2006; Jackson, Addison, and William. After having a GREAT Nanny while living in TX I decided to stay at home with the kids after my wife received a promotion to Birmingham, Alabama. I have not regretted the decision one day.
